Product Information

Full details

The Colorama LL CO181 paper background is the industry standard for professional photographers, videographers, and set designers looking for a seamless, non-reflective backdrop. At 2.72m by 11m, this Platinum-colored roll provides ample space for full-body portraits and product photography, offering a smooth, matte finish that ensures consistent color rendition. While it provides excellent results, it is a single-use disposable product that requires a dedicated support system for proper installation.

FAQs

Is this background reusable?

It is a disposable product. Once a section is used, soiled, or torn, it is typically cut off and discarded, and a new section is pulled from the roll.

What is the material made of?

It is made of high-quality, strong paper that is dyed with aniline and 100% recyclable.

Can I wipe the paper clean if it gets dirty?

Because it is paper, it is not washable. Minor scuffs might be touched up, but generally, soiled sections should be cut away.

How do I store this roll effectively?

It must be stored vertically to maintain the integrity of the core and prevent the paper from sagging over time.

Does this roll come with a stand?

No, the paper background is a standalone accessory and requires a compatible background support system.

Is the Platinum color neutral?

Yes, Platinum is a classic neutral shade that works exceptionally well for both color and black-and-white photography.

Troubleshooting

Background sagging or uneven pull

Ensure the crossbar of your support system is level and that the background is perfectly centered on the bar.

Paper tearing during unrolling

Check the edge of the roll for any nicks or minor tears caused by rough handling; trim these away with a sharp blade to prevent further tearing.

Visible footprints on the background

Ask subjects to remove shoes before stepping on the paper, or use a clean sheet of clear acrylic/plexiglass over the floor area.

Pros and Cons

  • Reflex-free surface ensures professional lighting quality
  • Extremely smooth finish that does not sag or buckle
  • Available in a neutral Platinum tone for versatile styling
  • 100% recyclable paper material
  • Durable and hard-wearing for active studio use

Cons

  • Disposable nature means it is not a long-term permanent installation
  • Requires a separate background support stand or wall-mount system
  • Heavy roll weight requires secure mounting hardware

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper installation requires a background support system capable of holding a wide roll (2.72m).

  1. Installation: Slide your support system bar through the sturdy inner paper core of the roll. Ensure the bar is locked into your stands securely before extending the paper.
  2. Maintenance: To keep the background clean, ensure the studio floor is clear of debris before rolling the paper down. If the paper becomes damaged, simply cut off the used portion and roll out a fresh section from the core.
  3. Storage: Always store the roll vertically to prevent bending or creasing of the cardboard tube. The manufacturer recommends using the Colorgrip (LL COPAPERGRIP) for optimal vertical storage.
